I took a cross country road trip in this guy's ford festiva that I swear to God was getting 90 miles to the gallon. I want this car because of its gas mileage, apparently cheap and easy to work on. Is it worth it or are there better options? It's also a cheaper car to get for a poor fag like me.

Get that or a Metro. I would suggest a diesel otgerwise, but Americans get fuckall when it comes to choices.

I dont understand the tip over thing
it seems pretty wide and well proportioned
maybe lower it, give it beefy tires and wide body mod?

Sure, you also think the AW11 is a perfect grip machine?
>>
>>15598162

Better than a smart at least.

>>15598188

Ever heard of the Mini?
>>
>>15598188
>high center of gravity
not really
>short wheelbase
thats a good thing
and you can also engine swap it

How so? You mean because diesel cars aren't popular?
>>

Not in an FF my man
>>
>>15598207

Mini 1? Sure, it COULD be a track car.

The modern ones? Fuck off.

>>15598218

thats a good thing

Do you also like getting spanked in the ass while a nigger fucks your wife?

Oh fuck off guys. it is

Short wheel base harms the grip of an FF car you moron

Not much. Diesel isn't as popular in America as it is in Europe with cars. It's more reserved for trucks and semis.

Because it's a piece of shit Econobox that no one but poor fags and autists like you actually want, and has no place in a better country like the United States of America where gas is cheap and any engine with less than 2 liters is a joke.

It's pretty much the only car that weighs that little short of a geo metro, and it's a much better car than a geo metro in every single way.
Would recommend.
>>
>>15599066
ALSO: you can drop a Miata 1.6 or 1.8 motor in and literally double the horse power, same bolt pattern on the transmission.
1700lb car with 130hp is no joke.
>>
>>15599078
Its copy of a mazda 121 so that perhaps that explains that.
>>
>>15599264
It is a Mazda 121, it's not even changed in anyway.

Also it uses a B series Mazda motor, which is the same engine series the Miata uses.
>>
>>15599271
Did mazda make them in korea? Used to have a festiva and it was not up to jap quality.
>>
>>15599288
No, Kia manufactured them under license.

What the fuck
>>
>>15601486
>buy festiva
>put some seriously meaty modern tires /wheels on it
>lower it
>have something amazing
just steal the wheels off a new mazda 6 senpai
>>
>>15601486
>>15601754
If you wanna put decent wheels and tires on it you're gonna have to change some shit, stock wheels and tires are 4x114.3, put 2003 Kia Rio steering knuckles/brakes on the front, they bolt right up and give you bigger brakes and 4x100 up front.
Fur the back you gotta buy some new drums and take them to a machinist, have the machinist drill the stud holes at 4x100 and take the center bore down to 54.1mm so it fits more common wheel hub bores and matches the front hub bore.

Geo owner here. Could you go a bit more into detail about how they are better than Geos?
>>
>>15598091
>festiva
I read that as "fiesta" and was really confused why Ford America would sell the Mazda 121 as Fiesta when there's a perfectly good *actual* Fiesta available to them. It's still weird though.
>>
>>15602519
muh square boxes
it also may be less top heavy
lighter
>>
>>15602454

Micra, Starlet, Geo, any Civic up until EF. Mirage/Colt, the list could go on.
>>
>>15602549
Did americlaps get the Opel Corsa?
The Corsa A/Vauxhall Nova is a classic

I have the 1300 non gti shitbox but its still pretty fun in corners.

You got the Mitsubishi Mirage as a Dodge Colt/Plymouth Champ at least.
>>
You'd probably be better off with a Geo Metro honestly, but if you can find one then go for it.

I personally would love to import a Mk1 Fiesta.

Drive till the motor claps out
Then swap one in from a miata
